The New York Sun has for some
time been booming William i. Cole
man, of California, as the next
Democratic nominee for the Presi-
dency. Mr.. Coleman was known
only to local fame until Bro. Dana
discovered him in the gold fields of
California, rich and energetic, full
of vim and business talent, and too
modest to accept any office in the
gift of the people of California, from
Governor of the State down to May
or-General of militia.
Mr.. Coleman's persistent refusal
of all official position, is certainly
q feather in his cap and would un-
doubtedly make him popular with
the better class of voters; but Il gen.
tleman unfamiliar with a dizzy of
political spoils, could hardly expect
to create much enthusiasm among
the democratic rank and file, after
the experience they are now having
with the present distinguished dis
penser of party gifts.
But the San Francisco Duly Re-
port has sent us short biographi-
cal sketch of Mr.. Coleman, and
when We read that at 9 years of age
no was thrown entirely upon his
own resources without dime in his
pocket. and that he not only took
good care Of himself but younger
brother and sister, our own early
struggles were brought so wildly to
mind, that wc felt like throwing
aside our independence as an editor,
and putting the name of William
4. Coleman at the head Of the
CAPITAL, as our choice for Presi-
dent Of the United States in 1888.
Reflection, however, restrained this
sympathetic feeling aud the CAPT
TAILS independence will be main
tanned; but should Bro. Dana sue
coed in putting him through the next
National Convention, we pledge
our editorial honor not to say one
disparaging word against Mr.. Cole
mans candidacy.

Orr city Cemetery.

OuT City cemetery.
MR. EDITOR Among the many
sites proposed for our new cemetery,
| Will mention a few. One is TO
build sea-wall around the present
cemetery and fill in by cutting down
the banks. then sell the lots, which
will about pay for the first cost.
SO. 900. and will last about twenty
years. Then our children will have
to find suitable place when this is
exhausted. The second proposition
is to purchase the lot between the
present cemetery and the Rail Road.
This purchase may bridge over the
time. for say, forty years. Anoth
er proposition is to fill in the head
of College Creek, as far down as
the lower part of the cemetery, first
cost estimated $50, 900, but the lots
sold will pay all expenses, leaving
small surplus in the hands Of the
treasurer. Another proposition is
to bridge College creek with ST.
600 bridge, make the County pay
for the bridge and keep in repair,
and purchase ten acres or more, on
the other side for $4,000. This
would pay the stockholders and
quite a handsome small cemetery
could be made and kept in nice con-
dition. 1t would last but short
time. a far sighted gentleman who
has the interests of the city we'll
intertwined around his heart, wishes
to place the cemetery on the CON-
handing heights of the Third dis
trict, on the Severn hills, SO that
the spirits of our beloved dead may
always look down upon the city of
their youth and witness the city ex-
tending its bounds on every side.
His idea is that this city will event
ually become larger city than Bal
timore and will occupy in a straight
line, from the Severn by Weems'
creek to South River. all that body
of land, seward, including Tolly's
and Thomas Point, and therefore
is looking ahead SO far, that the
subject of cemetery will not have
to trouble the heads or minds of the
city's inhabitants for the following
five centuries. A cemetery, in my
opinion, should be at least one and
a half miles out of town. 1t should
have many roads leading TO it and
good ones, for it is place where
every one desires to visit, and it
should be so improved that it will
be worth the trouble to any visitor
to travel out to see it. 1t should
be embellished in the highest style
of art. Its natural advantages,
should be brought out in their
strongest lights, and it should be
made thing of beauty and a joy
forever. look upon a handsome
we'll LAID out cemetery as most
desirable acquisition, that it will
improve the lands in its vicinity and
will open up the country to many
settlers. who otherwise would not
have found out the many adyan-
tages of the location. Nothing is
more beautiful in my sight than
the shafty marbles and the the pill
Jared Porphyry monuments of the
dear departed intermingled with
the shades Of the evergreens and
the immortalized laurels. A well
improved cemetery, occupying a
wooded site, with hills and valleys,
purling streams, stretches of levels,
trees of noble proportions, handsome
circling roadways, and The soil we'll
set in grass, should be the place
chosen for the last resting place of
our dear ones, who have trodden
the way before us to the farther
shore.

ST. LOUIS. Mo. Feb 2S.-Probably
the most extensive private land purchase
ever made in this country was consum-
mated IN this city a short time ago.
While Texas was still province of the
Mexican republic certain DR.. Beales,
an emigrant from England, married q
native of Mexico, became citizen and
desiring to form colony upon the frol,-
tier, obtained from the Mexican govern
ment an immense grant of land consist
irg of 100000 acres. known as the
Arkansas grant, situated in what are
now the states of Texas, Colorado and
the territory of New Mexico. Before he
was able to carry out his plan of form
ing colony he died, and the grant
passed to bis minor children. Now q
company of American capitalists Rufus
Hatch being among the number, having
obtained u title to the lard from his
heirs, will take possession in short
time.
